" CHRISTIANITY 101" THIS IS MY PRAYER OF HOPE TO THINK AND DO ALL IN LOVE! WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT ARE TRUE, HONEST, JUST, PURE, LOVELY, OF GOOD REPORT, IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, AND IF THERE BE ANY WAY TO GIVE PRAISE TO GOD, THESE ARE THE THINGS I TRY TO THINK ABOUT…BASED ON PHILLIPIANS 4:8 I CLAIM THIS BASED BY ALL OF GODS WORD, PRAYING MY THOUGHTS HONOR THE MIND OF CHRIST.

Homosexuality

First of all, as my disclaimer:

I am not a psychiatrist, I am not in the business, of telling anybody, why they have a mental illness.

But, I am someone who has learned so much from God. And I have seen things in the spirit realm that have taught me, there is a connection between spiritualism and mental illness. Or the battle in the mind. The sense of no peace, the challenge of being stable. Or unstable.

It comes from two sources. And you have to see this from the perspective of your own spirit. Either good or evil. God or the devil. And the foundation of your mental health, will be determined by your spiritual health.

Who rules your spirit? This is the question, you most definitely need to ask yourself. To find out yourself within, who rules your soul? Because this will determine your behavior, and your motives, your mental health, by your spiritualism.

By the choices you make, with God, or the devil. You have no other choice. You may think you do, but it will always result from the consequences, of the choice to believe in God. Or the enemy.

By your choice….this is always a choice. But the principles are in place, and will determine “fruit.”

To obey God, to take His commandments, His law to heart. To fear God, to depart from evil, and to submit to God. Or to give into the devil. To disobey God. With Temptations, disbelief, etc. See the difference.

Scripture tells us, “submit” to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. That key word, is “submitting” to God. Until you do, you will have that battle in the mind. See the enemy is a spirit of confusion. He is known to come, kill, steal, and destroy. He is a mocker. He is jealous, he was of God, so he is also jealous if you try and make God your Lord and savior. He wants to steal the glory from God.

SUBMIT YOURSELVES THEREFORE TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. JAMES 4:7. KJV.

So, if you do not believe in God, you will be tossed to and fro. That spirit, will dominate you, and your behavior, so that you may do things that are not kind, good, or even healthy for yourself. The spirit, will lead you to do things, that are evil. To even think evil. You may have not acted on those thoughts, but they are there, and that is sin. For lack of a better word. So that will dictate to you, and control you, in what you do.

THAT WE HENCEFORTH BE NO MORE CHILDREN, TOSSED TO AND FRO, AND CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, BY THE SLEIGHT OF MEN AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS, WHEREBY THEY LIE IN WAIT TO DECEIVE. EPHESIANS 4:14. KJV.

See the above scripture, reinforces what I am always saying about doctrine, because other bible versions are corrupt. And it deceives. You will be tossed to and fro, even if you think you are safe, your not, because your word is corrupt, if you use these fake versions.

If a person, is totally submitted to Christ. Even by the word they choose in a King James. Wanting to obey God, fearing God of consequences of sin, prayerful, in a relationship, the spirit, of God, will lead. There will be no mental illness.

FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. I CORINTHIANS 2:16 KJV.

I don’t care what people think or try to dictate to me, I know the difference. They have not walked in my shoes. They may mock. But God is not mocked, and they will reap that. But I know, I have had my part, to try and please God. To pray, to obey Him, His commandments. To love….

You see, I was lost. When I was lost that spirit, of the devil led me, and I made so many mistakes in judgment, and in my own personal life. My moral code, was damaged, because I did not submit to God. I actually had no moral code. Or fear of God. Concerning consequences on earth, or if I had died. And that is a very dangerous place to be. Because we will all stand before God. Hell is real. Hell on earth is just as real. I thank Him and praise Him that He saved me, taught me.

But when God found me, and I recall the night, I had a revelation of who Christ was. I submitted to God. For your own revelation, think of what Christ did for you on that cross.

Now you cannot, be partial in this, and just say you believe in God. Because scripture tells us, even the devil believes in God.

The key is totally giving your heart, life, mind, soul to God, so you can grow spiritually. So you can have peace. Scripture also tells us, that there is no peace to the wicked.

Begin by repenting. Even if you don’t think you have done anything wrong. This cleans the slate. Be humble in the sight of God. Ask God to forgive you. Even for unbelieving. This is why I actually believe in daily repentance. Because we can sin, even unknowingly. and we all do sin, folks, and come short of the glory of God. Our works, can be filthy rags….

The way to enrich your mind, is get a King James bible. As you know, I do not support any other bible. Because they are corrupted. Exactly what the enemy wants you to do, so you get static. You get part truth, part lie. You will not grow, until you change your word. And you may have a battle in the mind, until you do.

You have to have the mind set, to want to please God. And when you do you will be released, your eyes will be opened, and you can begin the process of healing mentally, because you are healing spiritually.

If I start to watch a movie, or read a book, that I know has evil spiritualism, I put it away from me. You don’t want to tempt yourself.

And you don’t want to let in spirits, that have been cleansed back into your soul. They will come in worse, in greater capacity, that is not great for your soul.

THEN GOETH HE, AND TAKETH WITH HIMSELF SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THEN HIMSELF, AND THEY ENTER IN AND DWELL THERE: AND THE LAST STATE OF THAT MAN IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. EVEN SO SHALL IT BE ALSO UNTIL THIS WICKED GENERATION. MATTHEW 12:45 KJV.

The bottom line is, to be in fear of God, by choosing His Holy spirit, to guide you. So, you can be healed mentally. I truly believe that. With all my heart. See you fear God, so you don’t have to have fear in the mind of something or someone else. Thats the key:

FOR GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; BUT OF POWER, AND OF LOVE, AND OF A SOUND MIND. II TIMOTHY 1:7. KJV.

I always recommend, finding help, if you are in that desperate place. But God will help you, if you seek Him. And I hope you find your way, take this to heart. Because Christ, is the way, the truth, and life. Read John 14:6 from a King James.

Feel free to share this post, you might help someone, see why they act the way they do. You might save a soul.

Loneliness, contributes to sin, and when loneliness is there, the void is evident. God is missing. So we sin.

Try explaining that in one sentence. But it is true, when we have rejected God, or we have decided to sin, Gods spirit leaves.

He is holy. He calls us to holiness. He cannot be in our temples, so to speak, if we have sinned, or entertain even the thought of sinning.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? I Corinthians 3:16.

I know this now. But years ago I did not. I did not know how important it was for me, to develop my own relationship with the Lord. In obedience, in prayer, in seeing even in scripture with the fear of God, that He punished sin.

Grace is a beautiful thing. But lets get one thing straight. Grace does not pardon sin. We reap what we sow. Grace is being repentant to God, and then He pardons the sin. Thereby giving grace. By not punishing us for something we ALL so deserve. But it is by Christs sacrifice, that we are extended grace.

But He does not extend grace to the heart, or soul, that sins, and does not repent. Grace is not an excuse to sin. And sloppy agape, does not cut it.

No wonder our world is so jacked up. No wonder, there are so many people who do the things they do. They want to fill that empty spot. They want to relieve the pain of loneliness. They don’t want to be alone. So what do they do? They look for a substitute.

They break vows, with God and a mate. Or they break their own promises to serve God. A covenant, they break for sin. They break the “law” of God so much, they become their own enemy. The law….don’t confuse that. God does not change. And those commandments, they are there for a reason, Gods reasons.

But people who look for a substitute…..They go with people, who are bad influences. They go with people, who entice them. They go with people, who offer them drugs, or alcohol, or anything to “numb” the loneliness. So they sin.

Then it opens the door to other things, like STDS, (sexual transmitted diseases) because the wages of sin is death, and its the enemies plan to come to kill, to destroy, your life.

Or worse, they entice someone. Lord help the innocent….

This opens the door to the devil. And he does not want you to know Christ. He does not want you to be saved. And the more and more you sin, the further and further you get from God, because the place in your heart, that you have that should be filled with God, is gone, because you allowed sin. This is why we all get lonely.

For in just having a “true” relationship with the Lord, not based on religion, but in knowing Him, accepting Him, seeking Him, He takes the place of what sin is, and He fills the void. The loneliness leaves.

God meant for us to have a true partner, and mate in life, who is someone who helps us, in these things. And I just want to implore you. Keep trusting God. You may be lonely. You may be looking for love in the wrong places. But let God fill your heart up, your mind, your spirit, and keep busy, whatever it may be, no matter how lonely you are, but He can take the place of your loneliness. And till then He can bring you a mate. But don’t ever, ever let go of God, even if you find someone else to love.

I think I am writing this for a friend, or an acquaintance. He just lost his wife, she died. He may read this or not. But I think he is lonely and is fighting the urge to sin. To drink, smoke, or to do something else. Who knows, but he is coming to my mind to pray for him.

I think I am writing this for a couple of beautiful ladies I know. You use men, as substitutes. You want love, but you let someone take that which is Gods, and you give yourself away….You cheapen love. By not honoring yourself. And first and foremost God.

I think I am thinking of another lady, who is so lonely, that she tries to find it in other people, by pleasing them. But they treat her shabbily for it. I think she has given up on finding love. But I think he is just around the corner.

I know this could be you or me, or someone else, but if we don’t identify the loneliness, and even repent for rejecting God from our hearts, we cannot win. He has to be the main cause of our love. He has to be front and center, to spare us, to save us. To ensure our salvation.

We have to trust God, release the loneliness, and not trust our own judgment on matters like this when we are struggling.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding Proverbs 3:5.

I pray for all of us. Because I know what its like, I grew up lonely. I grew up, struggling to find my way. Trusting people, who hurt me. Trusting even those in the body of Christ, those that were not mature, but actually were a pawn of the devil, to destroy the plan of God in my life.

I myself, see the results of my own sins, that I acquired because I was lonely. It grieves me that it affected me so…

Its been a long time, since I have been lonely.

I am just so grateful for my husband my son, and one or two true friends I have. That I am not lonely, why?

Some might even see, that I purposely do not get to close to some, because I embrace what I have with Christ, and they have to prove love to me, because I won’t allow my affections to be used.

For the sake of loneliness. I know how valuable I am now. I know, I am a good person, a nice person, because of Christ. I respect myself, because I make sure, in fear of God, I respect HIM and His truth.

Because of His truth! But I have learned I do not give myself away. Or to throw my pearls to swine. Or to sin, to fill any void.

Its not worth it, now when I know how precious my relationship with my God, and His Son, our Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit….

Because Christ is my greatest friend.

I hope this blesses you or someone. I know the Holidays are upon us, but Christ can be with us every day. Seek Him friends, fight the good fight of faith. Loneliness will pass, just don’t give into sin, to fill that void. Nothing can take the place of Christ.

FATHER, I WANT THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TO BE WITH ME WHRE I AM, AND TO SEE MY GLORY, THE GLORY YOU HAVE GIVEN ME BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. JOHN 17:24

Jesus loves you…Did you know that? And as I read this, I came back to this scripture, from one of my earlier posts, of prayer, I listed, with Jesus praying. Easter has passed, but if you know him. He is not in the tomb, he is in your heart. I can’t help but feel how precious his love is toward us. And as I meditate on this, I realize, how much he does love us. Folks, he wants us to be with him, and to see the glory……I can only imagine it in my mind. But, in my feeble attempt to describe it, I suppose it would be like constant sunshine, with beautiful colors, surrounding Christ. The holiness, of our Lord, is truly the light of the world. And thats what Christ wants for us as well. To live and dwell in that holiness. With him. Would you trade that, by not making the commitment to love him? Would you trade that, because you want to be stubborn, in your unbelief, that there is no God? If you knew, for sure, would you deny God? The only way you can know for sure, is by opening your heart, to believe, repenting, and let God, do the rest….He is God. By not taking that chance, is denying yourself, the greatest gift we can have…..His Presence. The beauty of his glory….May God bless your day.

Father, my Lord Jesus, compelled, to write more of your prayers, here, I cannot help and see your love for us. How great your love, is, for each one of us, and Thank you, for the gift of my Salvation. Thank you, for forgiving me, of my sins. Lord, I thank you, that I know, that I know, my name is in the Book of Life. Because I do believe. And you have shown me, who you are. Faith has done that. Thank you. May the glory of your love, shine in my heart, and that of other believers. For we believe….In the name above all names, my Lord Jesus. Amen

Dear friend, I don’t know you, but God does. And I really don’t think it is by chance you are reading this. It is by divine appointment. Today you can make a choice, to believe, and repent, and make it right with God, or you can reject this. But if you do make the choice to believe….God will show you things that you could never know, By believing, but by denying him. You will never, really know…You won’t know the true peace, that surpasses all understanding. You won’t know or experience his healing, touch. The true joy, that comes from living for him. And oh so much more. His glory….covers more than we could even think or conceive. It is fruit, that we have being on the vine with him….But, All it takes is that one ounce of faith, to know what Christ did for you on the cross, and to truly seek him. You will find love, you will find God. Don’t lose the chance, we never know, when we will leave this earth. But this way, you will always know. You will know, your name is in the Book of life, in heaven, and there you will experience his glory…If you live for Christ, because he died for you…..Below is a link. Say the prayer of Salvation, and trust God.

SEE CHRIST WITH YOUR HEART WITH YOUR EMOTION

Today, as I write this, I want you to truly see this in your heart, your mind, and your soul. I want you to truly understand this with emotion. For as the Scripture relates to what Christ did for us, and undertook, the pain, and the suffering, the Bible, does not with emotion, explain, what happened. It tells us in truth what happened. Your heart, needs to see with emotion. So you can be changed. So you can open your heart, to know, Christ is the way, the truth and the life. And that he is the only way you can be delivered from hell. Sharp and harsh words, yes I know, but in his love, and I being his servant, I want you to see, with emotion, and true understanding what Christ did for you, and for me. To avoid hell, to avoid the consequences of sin. So I cannot mince words here. I have to be totally truthful,according to the gospel, and from my own testimony, I know, the forgiveness of Christ.

So in truth, and as harsh as it may seem, that is why I have actually, listed the definitions of these words below with the scriptures. So you will not just read the scripture, but you will relate, with understanding the truth, of what Christ did. So you will know, that Salvation, came at a very, very great cost. To those who belong to Christ you will understand. Your heart weeps, and you know, your salvation came at great cost. But you know, by Gods grace, he has given you a gift, and you are free. Now, and for eternity.

To those who do not, you are the person, who is whipping him. For your sins have separated you from God. How could that be, you say? Well, if you do not accept Christ as Lord and savior. Symbolically, you are the same. For they that did beat him, did not accept him. They crucified him. By denying him. You are the same. You are wasting the gift from God, for true Salvation. And the truth is, when we stand before God, on judgement day, he will look at it the same way. Did we accept his gift of Salvation? Did we accept Christ, or did we deny him, and by not recognizing his sacrifice, we are allowing our sins, to be given to death, for eternity. In hell. Yes, I know this sounds harsh, but I want you to see this with emotion…..Let it touch your heart, with love.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him he was despised and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him stricken smitten of God and afflicted. but He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5.

And if one can see, what he did for us. Then Salvation will be yours. Do you believe?

This is the testimony of what Christ went through. From John 19:1-3

Then Pilate, therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

scourge – a whip used as an instrument of punishment.

And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him, a purple robe. And said Hail King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

smote – literary strike with a firm blow: attack or affect severely.

A Prayer of Hope….

My Lord, with thankfulness, and emotion, I understand, with all my heart. I see what you went through, for my sins. I see the the pain, of you my Christ, I see your suffering, I see each stripe on your back, taken for my sins. The beatings. The nails in your hands and feet. I see the crown of thorns on your head, and your head bleeding, for me, to have a clear mind. To be healed. Christ took the beating for my sins. If I was the only person, on this earth, and I saw what you did, I know, forever I would be a heart that has been changed. Lord, I pray, for the soul, who reads this. Who does not understand, your sacrifice. Who may not even know, how important, Salvation is. For it does count for eternity. Lord, I pray, for the soul, that needs you, as we all do. I pray, you would reveal yourself, with Love, for love will cover a multitude of sins. Only….Your love does that. Touch the heart now, with emotion, to accept you, and to know your sacrifice, and all you did, was because you loved us. So much so, Father you have sent your only begotten son, to a world, that if we believe, we will have life eternally. We can avoid the consequences of sin, that being death, and hell for eternity. In Jesus name, we are promised life eternally. Thank you Lord, for my salvation. For I know, because of Christ, and his sacrifice, and by his stripes I am healed, and I have a place in your Kingdom. Amen

Dear friend, if you see, this, make sure you make it right with Christ. Below is a link, for Salvation, pray the prayer…..and let love and true peace come into your heart, because of Christ, and his sacrifice. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR SALVATION…..

WARNING: For one never knows when Christ will return, nor is anyone promised tomorrow. Know this with emotion and truth…..click this link for the Passion of Christ video. Maybe then you will sense with emotion his love. God bless you and Happy Easter, to those who understand the true meaning, of this Resurrection Sunday.

That title, caught your eye. But you do feel lost, don’t you? There is something missing in your life? You feel dull, motionless. As if you are just going through the motions. Nothing really holds any true meaning. Sometimes, you self-medicate yourself. Trying to avoid this dull, lonely feeling. So you use, substances, people, and even money, to try to get you through this sadness. That does not go away. It is always there. You find yourself getting angry, and that worries you, because you feel like you could snap at any moment. There is no true peace. And as the word of God says, there is no peace to the wicked. Wicked? You never thought of that before, but as you think about it, yes, thats true. The reason, you have been places, that were very dark. You have read books, that were very dark, and seen things, in movies, that were very dark. Scary….You have also done terrible things, so ugly, that you think you have gone past, a place of no return. Your innocence was taken. You carry the weight of it. And you may have been violated. It was not your fault, yet you were used, and abused. You really do not want to live this lifestyle, but thats who you are….So you go with the flow of it, and think that it is normal to live like that. Yet, You led a normal life, according to most standards. But, there has been that darkness. And the fear. You are so afraid. But you do not know, what to do to stop the fear, or to get out of darkness, or to have true peace.

But God does….And he sees you right now. He is calling you. He wants you to know, he loves you. So much, that if you would just give in to accepting him, search for him, believe his word. He would change you, change your circumstance. He wants you to know, he is able to deliver you from the things that tempt you, and hold you in bondage. For each time, you go to those darkened places, the devil, ties you tighter, and tighter to him. You see it. And you think their is no escape.

But God wants you to know. That he can break those chains off of you. He broke those chains off of himself, when he suffered, died and was resurrected. So, he can do it for you. Thats the very reason why Jesus came. To destroy the works of the devil. For it was part of Gods plan, that Jesus, would come, for each one of us. Yes, the scripture is true. John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever would believe, would not perish, but have everlasting life.

And you have to understand, this great truth….Salvation is to be found in him alone. In all the world, there is no one else whom God has given, who can save us. Acts 4:12

Christ is calling you…He says, All that the Father gives to me, and those that come to me, I will in no way cast out. John 6:37.

So, what do you have to do? Confess, with your mouth, Jesus as Lord, and believe…in your heart, that God raised him, from the dead, you shall be saved. Romans 10:9

Heres a Prayer of Hope….A prayer of Salvation.

Father, I know, I am a sinner, I ask for forgiveness, of my sins. I see this darkness, this wickedness, this loneliness, that scares me. I want peace, and joy in my life. Lord, I am taking a step to you. I want to live right. Who wouldn’t? Lord, I do see that I need a change. Help me. Show me, who I can be. Lord, Come into my heart. I do accept your son, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and savior. Fill me with your Holy spirit. I believe, he suffered, died, and was buried, and was resurrected for my sins. I believe, and see, and hope, to know you. Break these chains off of me. Now, and even as I pray this, I know, angels are rejoicing over me. I am free. And I know, when I die, and I pray, it won’t be for a long time. But I know, I will be with you. For eternity. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name. Amen

Now all you have to do, is renew your mind. You have to get rid of that stinking thinking….From the past. Start reading your Bible. It will comfort you, change you, and you will see the transformation. I recommend the chapter of John first, in the new testament.

Then tell others, because there is a change in you now. You are free!!

Your not sure why you are reading this, because you don’t normally look at things that pertain to Christianity.

It is not by chance you read this, or by chance, you let this come into your heart. God was looking for you. He did not want you to miss this….opportunity.

Obedient, I write this for you….Because I was also once lost, but now found. The reason, I can describe all of those things above, is because that was once me. But now, and it has been a long time, since, I have peace, joy, and true hope. Even though, in this world things are not perfect. No one, and I say no one can take my peace and joy. Because NOW God is my defender, my comfort, and my friend. This is why I write this. Because I have been there, done that, and no longer am I in bondage.

If you need prayer….write to me.

But don’t forget, and this is very important, find a Bible based church. Where the word of God is taught, and preached. And Look for the true love, that God can only give.

If the love is not there….don’t stay. God has a place for you….Don’t ever, ever let people dictate, whether or not, you should or should not follow God. Don’t be ashamed. This is not religion, this is now, about relationship with Christ, and he will never leave or forsake you…..

Be blessed, My new brother or sister in Christ.
